 Port Douglas Qld July 26th 2023

Time to leave our favourite spot in one of the top three van parks by our reckoning. It’s been raining on and off but stayed relatively dry while we broke camp and moved out. By the time we hit Mareeba it was raining properly and continued to do so all the way to Glengarry. That descent from Mount Morgan down to the highway is pretty special, it even has a sign that says “All vehicles use low gear”. I couldn’t help but wonder how many drivers would know what “low gear” means or how to use it. The road also has a “Danger: High Accident area”. So enough said, take lots of care and lots of time to get down safely.

Glengarry is on the Captain Cook Highway just south of Craiglie, which is just past the turn of to “Port”.

Luckily it stopped raining while we set up, but it’s very damp, even muddy underfoot. We had some shopping to do so went into town to the shops, had some lunch and returned to the van. The rain started almost immediately but as I was asleep most of the afternoon, I didn’t really mind!
